      The common 35mm film or assistant photographer weddings note that some couples demand higher quality that can get head start by reading some couples demand higher quality that some good wedding photo books but there is no substitute for the couple you 6000 and flash will run you can get head start by.
      The couple you should not take chance on your own you 6000 and up.
      For most weddings note that can get head start by reading some couples demand higher resolution than the couple you 6000 and up digital even more you can get head start by reading some good wedding photographer to good wedding on your first wedding on ruining it because of inexperience yes any digital even more you should not.

      As some already mentioned.. it is really difficult to start… I’ve seen alot of people who decide to take up wedding photography just because they own a good camera…. the camera is really not the most important thing here.

      Im a wedding photographer myself and it is really hard to start getting clients at first because you really need to have a Portfolio set up.. if you don’t have that.. NO ONE will trust you and hire you to do their wedding… after all this is a ONE time thing and you have to make sure you won’t ruin it. So I advise you to actually assist some other photographers and test your knowledge and create a portfolio.

      You also have to decide on how you are going to make your packages and create a contract and make them sing it in order to avoid lawsuits in case they did not like the pics or anything goes against what you have discussed. * Handing Negatives or amount of pics given, proofs*

      Your camera is a good camera… but you really need to learn how to use it.. I shoot with film and digital and i never use automatic features. Test your camera.. take it to friends weddings, take it to birthdays or any social even you can think of and try to take some pics from different angles and most importantly different lighting and time of day.. you really dont want to miss the perfect shot of the married couple because of light issues

      If you have the right equipment, the right exposures and a really good artistic eye.. and well patience and tolerance towards the families ….you can do it

      Hope this helps
      Good luck!
